Commentary
Élisabeth (28/12/1709-05/01/1762) est la fille de Pierre le Grand et de Catherine Ire. Elle monta sur le trône à la suite d'un complot militaire qui renversa le jeune Ivan III (1740-1741) lequel sera assassiné au début du règne de Catherine II. Elle reçut le titre de "Clémente" pour avoir épargné les partisans du tsar déchu. Le traité d'Abo, en 1743, mit fin à la guerre des Suédois et donna pour la première fois la Finlande à la Russie. Pendant la guerre de Sept Ans (1756-1763), la Russie s'allia à l'Autriche contre la Prusse. Les Russes battirent les Prussiens à Künersdorf en 1759. La mort d'Élisabeth sauva Frédéric II de Prusse de la défaite. Élisabeth continua l'oeuvre réformatrice de son père et fut une amie des Arts en fondant l'Université de Moscou et l'Académie des Beaux-arts. Dès 1742, elle avait choisi son neveu, Pierre, pour lui succéder.

During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), Russia allied with Austria against Prussia. The Russians defeated the Prussians at Künersdorf in 1759. Elizabeth's death saved Frederick II of Prussia from defeat. Elizabeth continued her father's reforming work and was a friend of the arts, founding the University of Moscow and the Academy of Fine Arts. As early as 1742, she had chosen her nephew, Peter, to succeed her.
